Shen Manting arrived at the office. She punched in at work and changed into her work clothes. Just as she was about to start work, she received a phone call.

The number wasn’t assigned a contact name, but she was too familiar with it.

It was Shen Luo’an calling.

Shen Manting rejected the call. She started preparing her workstation.

There were all kinds of paperwork and logistical matters to manage.

About three minutes into her work, her phone rang again.

But it was not Shen Luo’an calling this time. A landline number was displayed on the phone screen.

The call was made from a phone in the capital.

It wasn’t the Shen family’s landline number either.

Shen Manting hesitated for a moment and eventually answered the call. “Hello?”

The voice of a middle-aged woman against a noisy background came from the other end of the line. “Hello, I’m calling from Renxin Hospital in the capital. I’m the head pediatrics nurse. Your child, Shen Yuexiao, has been admitted with a high fever of 39 degrees celsius.”

Shen Yuexiao?

“Excuse me?” Shen Manting was stunned for a while. She suddenly came to her senses and thought to herself, Didn’t the nurse mention her child’s name?

“Come over immediately to look after the child. Don’t bear grudges against the child’s father anymore. The child has caught a dangerously high fever!” The head nurse sounded reproachful and impatient. “Call your husband. No one is capable of taking care of the child better than his mother!”

Shen Manting felt her head spin. The head nurse hung up.

She hastily dialed Shen Luo’an’s number. He picked up the phone within seconds.

His voice sounded hoarse. “Hello?”

“Shen Luo’an! I heard that the child is ill, isn’t he?” Shen Manting demanded in a panicked voice as she walked toward the changing room.

He grunted in a low voice on the other end of the line.
